A DMN editorial Jan. 19 suggests Dallas Area Rapid Transit should choose natural gas buses over diesel ones.
As I e-mailed Editorial Page Editor Keven Ann Willey, it appears the writer of the original stories on the false dilemma of diesels vs. NG buses didn't even pass on to opinion staff what I told him -- that a thing called hybrid buses exist. (Even dirtier secret -- GM subsidiary Allison has been making them for years.)
Also, in case neither you nor Boone Pickens was aware, U.S. natural gas production peaked earlier this decade. His "solution," if you're trying to put it in terms of energy security, isn't one.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
